About This Medication

# ALYGLO Patient Guide: How to Get ALYGLO at Low or No Cost ALYGLO (immune globulin intravenous, human-stwk) is a prescription medication used to treat **primary humoral immunodeficiency (PI)** in adults aged 17 and older, helping replace missing antibodies to reduce serious infections.[1][2][7][8] GC Biopharma USA offers a **co-pay assistance program through Medmonk** that provides up to **$15,000 per year** to cover deductibles, copays, and coinsurance for eligible commercially insured patients, making treatment more affordable.[1][4][6] ## About ALYGLO ALYGLO is a **10% liquid intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)** therapy, administered as one infusion every **3-4 weeks** either in your home or at an infusion clinic by a nurse.[2][6][7] It's FDA-approved for PI conditions like congenital agammaglobulinemia, common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, and severe combined immunodeficiencies.[1][8] In clinical trials, patients experienced very few acute serious bacterial infections (only 0.03 per patient-year), meeting FDA efficacy standards.[6][9] ALYGLO uses advanced purification (cation exchange chromatography) to remove coagulation factor XIa to undetectable levels, potentially improving safety.[3][9] **Important:** Always discuss with your doctor.
